Ladislaw Starewicz

Film And Animation
1905- 1925



Ladislaw Starewicz (Russia)


The Cameraman's Revenge



Starewicz used embalmed insects, removed there legs and then reattached them using wax frame by frame and created stop motion. In this animation 'The Cameraman's Revenge'
He was very detailed in creating expressions and feelings in the small movements captured in stop-motion. also use of colour tinting in different scenes to add more effect. The story line was very clear in this animation with the use of titles, and small scale set design.



After watching this short film it is clear many hours of work to capture emotion in detailed and subtle movement of insects. You can see that these techniques of subtle body language have been used in many films since.
